HomeBudgetLite
HomeBudgetLite is a personal finance and budgeting application for macOS designed as a lightweight desktop companion to a mobile expense tracker of the same name. The app enables users to log expenses by category, set monthly budgets, and view simple financial summaries. It is intended for households seeking a straightforward way to track spending without the complexity of full double-entry accounting systems.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find reliable public information about whether a native Apple Silicon build of HomeBudgetLite exists. Given that no search results were returned and the app appears to be a smaller or older project, your first step should be to contact the developer directly to ask about native Apple Silicon support and their plans before macOS 28 ships in September 2028. An Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release when Apple removes Rosetta 2. In the meantime, if you rely on this app for essential budgeting, consider exploring actively maintained alternatives with confirmed Apple Silicon support, such as MoneyMoney, Banktivity, or Soulver (for quick budget calculations). These apps are under active development and run natively on M-series Macs. GnuCash is a free option with more advanced features, though it has a steeper learning curve.
